The product, in the report: Dual Fuel Propane/Gas Powered Generator
The consumer stated that the rubber hose that connects the propane tank supply gas to the generator has no place to lay while the generator is in use. Leading to the rubber supply hose from the LP gas laying on the hot generator exhaust.
The consumer stated that the rubber hose lays on the hot exhaust regardless of if the propane tank is hooked up and in use or not. The consumer stated that there is no place to hang the hose on the generator at any time even when it is not in use. The LP gas stays attached to the generator at all times even when the generator is running on the alternate fuel “gasoline”.
The consumer stated that while he was running the generator on gasoline not LP gas, noticed a strong smell from the generator. The consumer did not notice anything the matter at first but then later found that the rubber hose that goes to the LP gas tank had melted in half with a small piece of the hose falling to the ground.
The consumer stated that the hose did come curled up on top of the motor from the factory out of the box. Consumer stated that there is no place to hang the hose while the generator is running on LP gas or on regular gas.The consumer stated that there is no place to hang the hose while running the generator or moving the generator on its wheels. The only logical spot to place the hose is curled up on top of the motor when you are trying to move the generator or not using the LP gas tank. It’s not logical to lay the open end of the hose in the dirt potentially leading to dirt in the line and possible damage to the fitting on the end of the hose where it would attach to the tank. This leads to damage to the LP hose whether it is in use or not. Huge risk of the hose being damaged, partially melted or possibly having a hole melted in the hose from it coming into contact from the hot exhaust.
The consumer stated that the generator hose should never easily come in contact with the hot exhaust. Possible solutions would be a different high temp hose,or have the LP gas line come out on the opposite side of the generator than the exhaust does. In any case there should be either a retractable hose installed or a safe secure place to hang the gas hose away from the exhaust while in use,not in use, or while the generator is being transported.
Being that the generator is mobile, the LP hose also stands a huge risk of unnoticed damage while it is being wheeled or transported from location to location.
The consumer believes that there is a huge risk of fire,injury and or damages due to the fact that at any time the LP gas hose can come into contact with the hot exhaust leading to someone potentially hooking up and using a damaged or leaking hose. If a leaking hose was put into use without someone realizing it and started the generator,it appears that there is a very high likely hood that it will cause a fire or a personalinjury of some kind. The consumer states that he is thankfulhe found the melted hose when he did. Consumer believes that not everyone would notice this problem before an accident could happen.
The consumer contacted the manufacturer about the issue. They informed him that he shouldn’t have had the rubber hose laying on the exhaust. The consumer was informed that a new hose would not be covered under the warranty. The consumer had to pay around $20 for a new hose and shipping.
